[laughter] your response? sec. clinton: [laughter] i mean, really, yes, it deserves a lot of laughter. i was not watching when he said that. i was having to be somewhere else and away from a tv, and even my phone. and so i heard about it later. and, you know, look -- i thought it was just part of the whole of his very defensive and unconvincing presentation. and i told someone later, boy
